🏦 The Eighth Compass: Sourcing Capital and Loan Applications

A project report is only a piece of paper until it attracts money, because capital is the fuel for your engine. After establishing feasibility, the next task is securing the necessary finance. This involves choosing the right mix of debt and equity and structuring a compelling loan application. Project Profile Bangladesh (PPB) helps you package your report. Therefore, we ensure your project speaks the demanding language of bankers and investors, while highlighting the most attractive financial features.

🏦 The Eighth Compass: Sourcing Capital and Loan Applications

⚖️ Structuring Capital: Debt vs. Equity

A business must decide how to pay for its growth, which is a key strategic decision. Capital can come from two main sources: Debt (loans) or Equity (selling ownership shares). The right mix—the Capital Structure—is vital. Too much debt means high interest payments and risk. Too much equity means giving away too much control and future profit. We model various scenarios to find the optimal balance.

Debt Financing: The Bank Loan

Debt provides capital without diluting ownership, therefore, it is often preferred for stable projects. Bank loans require a strong feasibility study to justify the principal and interest repayments. In Bangladesh, local commercial banks are a primary source of debt. They demand clear proof of cash flow stability and collateral.

  • Key Requirement: A high Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is mandatory.

  • PPB’s Role: We present the project’s cash flow forecast in a format that directly addresses the bank’s repayment concerns.

Equity Financing: The Investor

Equity brings in smart money and shared risk, but it means sacrificing a share of the company. Equity can come from promoters, venture capitalists, or private investors. These investors look for a high Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and a clear exit strategy. Therefore, the feasibility report must clearly show substantial growth potential.

Capital SourcePrimary AdvantagePrimary Requirement in PPB Report
Debt (Loans)Ownership and control remain with the promoters.Cash Flow Statement showing clear, reliable repayment capacity.
Equity (Investors)No fixed repayment obligation; shared risk.IRR Calculation showing returns significantly higher than market average.
Grants/SubsidiesFree capital, often tied to specific goals (e.g., green energy).Legal/Environmental Compliance showing adherence to grant conditions.

📝 The Loan Application Package

A loan application is not merely a request for money; it is a presentation of a sound business case. Your PPB Feasibility Study Report is the backbone of this package. The banker needs a complete, easy-to-digest document to move forward. Therefore, a professional, complete report speeds up the entire due diligence process significantly.

Essential Application Components

We ensure all the bank's key questions are answered preemptively, because waiting for queries slows down funding. The application must include the project's background, management team profiles, market summary, and the core financial statements. We summarize the most important findings from the 1200-word feasibility study into a concise executive summary. This is vital, because the bank's decision-maker often reads only this summary first.

  • Security/Collateral: Clear details on the assets (land, machinery) that will secure the loan.

  • Source of Repayment: The Projected Cash Flow Statement is the primary source document for repayment proof.

  • Management Experience: CVs of key personnel, demonstrating competence in the relevant field.

A Guide to Building a Bankable Project Proposal

Image
Introduction: Decoding the Concept of "Bankability" In the lexicon of project finance, "bankable" is a pivotal term. However, its definition is not fixed; it is shaped by the unique perspective of the financier assessing an investment opportunity. A project achieves bankability when its balance of risk and potential return is deemed acceptable by a lender, instilling in them the confidence to commit capital. This is not an inherent characteristic of a project but rather a verdict delivered by a financial institution. Therefore, a bankable project proposal is not a one-size-fits-all template but a persuasive, strategic document crafted to meet the specific criteria and address the core concerns of its intended financial audience. Viewing Through the Financier's Lens The criteria for what makes a project bankable can differ substantially among various types of financiers. Grasping these differences is the foundational step in developing a compelling proposal. Comm...
